Carl, I was so sorry to learn that Anne passed away. Please accept my sincere condolences. My Dad, John, was so fond of Anne and you. He always loved the times you would all sit on the front porch at the house on Keller Lane and talk. He found your conversations so enjoyable.. My parents always enjoyed the artistic and clever cards Anne would drop off, often accompanied with flowers. She was a special woman and I hope all the memories you have of her will comfort you in the days ahead.
